Public transport,
49.4%
Cars, motorcycles,
23.3%
Bicycle, 1.4%
Walking, 25.8%
Other, 0.1%
MODAL SPLIT ZMVM
● Increasing number of trips. This number is growing faster inthecase of private modes (cars, motorcycles, bicycles)
● Participation of private modes is increasing in modal split. Publictransport is the big loser
● Fewer kilometers travelled. Increase in the number of short distance local trips
● Trips moving towards off-peak hours
● Explosive growth of delivery services

MODAL TRENDS
MAIN CHALLENGES
● To keep social distance whereas number of trips increases
● To avoid the shift from sustainable modes to cars and motorcycles
● To guarantee financial sustainability of public transport systems in a scenario of sustained low demand
● To sustain the process of technological improvement of modes in a time when financial resources are scarce
PROTECTION FOR OPERATORS AND USERS● Implementation of hygiene and sanitation measures in stations, buses and trains
● Individual prevention measures (mandatory use of face mask, supply of hand sanitation gel in transport stations, etc.)
TRANSPORT DEMAND MANAGEMENT● Optimization of transport supply
● Transport demand management measures oriented to decrease number of trips and to redistribute them throughout the day
● Social distance measures in public transport stations, buses and trains
● Emerging infrastructure: cycle lanes, pedestrianization of streets, sidewalk expansion

From 9 to 5 is better
Bicycle is a great option

FINANCING PUBLIC TRANPORTStatus: WORK IN PROGRESS
● Premise: Users cannot take the financial burden caused by thepandemic
● Economic support for traditional private transport operators(fuel grants)
● Fleet management optimization
● New financial sources
OPPORTUNITIES(Never let a good crisis go to waste)
● Massification and consolidation of travel demand managementstrategies
● Time to walk, time to cycle
● Fast modernization of administrative procedures
● Think and manage streets as flexible, adaptable spaces
● It’s the right time to do what the mobility sector always wanted to do (take advantage of the new advocates)
